Non-linear model predictive control for autonomous vehicles
(2011-11-01)
With the advent of faster computer processors and better optimization algorithms,
Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems are more readily used for real-time applications.
This research focuses on the application of MPC ...
Development and analysis of alternative thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production
(2021-12-01)
Production of carbon-free fuels as alternatives for fossil fuels is a promising approach for controlling climate change and global warming. Hydrogen is considered as the key energy carrier of the future when it is produced ...
Coded caching for cache-aided communication and computing with nonuniform demands
(2021-10-01)
In this dissertation, we consider the caching system of multiple cache-enabled users with nonuniform demands. We thoroughly characterize the structure of the optimal cache placement of the coded caching scheme (CCS).We ...
Modeling, analysis and optimization of integrated energy systems for multigeneration purposes
(2013-08-01)
Energy use is directly linked to well-being and prosperity across the world. Meeting the growing demand for energy in a safe and environmentally responsible manner is an important challenge. There are around seven billion ...
Model based simulation of broaching operation: cutting mechanics, surface integrity, and process optimization
(2013-04-01)
Machining operations are widely used to produce parts with different shapes
and complicated profiles. As a machining operation, broaching is commonly used
for the machining of a broad range of complex internal and external ...
Analysis, assessment and optimization of integrated solar energy systems for multigeneration
(2014-12-01)
The extensive usage of fossil fuel in most of human activities has led to the undesirable effects on the environment starting from global warming and greenhouse effects to the climate changes, acid rain and others. Renewable ...
Experimental investigation and modeling of integrated tri-generation systems.
(2013-09-01)
Energy demand in the world is increasing with population growth and higher living standards. Today, the need for energy requires a focus on renewable sources without abandoning fossil fuels. Efficient use of energy is one ...
Development and optimization of a wide base FEA truck tire model for prediction of tire-road interactions
(2015-04-01)
The most important aspect of any land-type vehicle is the efficiency in which it can translate
energy from an engine, motor, or external source to the ground in an effort to move.
Currently, the most efficient way to do ...
User aid-based evolutionary computation for optimal parameter setting of image enhancement and segmentation
(2011-12-01)
Applications of imaging and image processing become a part of our daily life
and find their crucial way in real-world areas. Accordingly, the corresponding
techniques get more and more complicated.
Many tasks are ...
Design, optimization, and prototyping of a three translational degree of freedom parallel robot
(2012-03-01)
This thesis presents an evolutionarily design change for the Delta parallel
robot. The proposed design change increases the useful workspace of the robot
and aids in permanently avoiding singularities in the workspace. ...
